Not everything was easy for Doug. Anxiety as a young man. Imposter syndrome as a professional. Too many relocations to count. Even laid off after 20 years.

There is no doubt Doug is exactly that. Enjoy this conversation with Doug Bireley.

Joe Moore, Orland Mott, Bryce Storie, Nick Zambeck and Paul McClintock make up the golf group they call "The Hacks". This is a discussion over cocktails with all 5 of us at The Farms Golf Club in Rancho Santa Fe, California.

Eriko is one of the most amazing people you will ever know. "Just do the work. There is nothing else." That's it.

Eriko is an example of what can happen when you commit to be great, give it all you have, and believe in yourself. She provides us a roadmap of how to live a truly fulfilling life. Work hard. Be willing to evolve. It is an honor to introduce you to a true Badass - Eriko.
